Chapter 244 Three Treasures
At that time, the 16th year of the Peach Blossoms.
The cattle farm has been on track and its scale is constantly expanding. Fuyunlai has been renovated and upgraded, and the road surface has been renovated. Now the main roads of Sikeshu are paved with flat stone slabs.
With the financial support of cattle farms and hotels, the banks of Qingshui River have been completely renewed in half a year. There are pavilions, towers and shops, and all the shops and inns are only rented but not sold. Due to the cattle farm, most of the merchants who came to purchase goods have rented shops here to facilitate the promotion of their own goods to other merchants. For a time, the four trees are thriving. Peach blossoms have purchased many fruit trees, planted them all along the river, and built many stone chairs and benches for rest and unique shapes.
However, Taohua looked towards the direction of Su's house. Mr. Su's family suddenly said goodbye two years ago. He looked worried when he left, but he didn't say much to Taohua.
Nowadays, Su Jinchen's letters are coming back less and less, and the intervals are getting longer and longer. He does not mention the situation of the border, but only says everything is safe, without worrying about it, waiting at home.
Rumors gradually emerged in the village. Su Jinchen's family was afraid that they would be successful in the capital and would not remember her if they married an official lady. After all, they were written in the plays, so people could not help but think about it.
My family was worried about Taohua, but knowing that she had always had her own ideas, there was no need for others to persuade her. However, as Taohua grew older, the Su family had no news, so they couldn't help but feel a little worried. They wanted to ask their daughter but were afraid of making her sad, so they had to restrain themselves from asking. It was really embarrassing.
Peach blossoms are not in a hurry. They are very leisurely every day, and they will tease their little niece Meng'er if they have nothing to do. Yes, Xue'er is the child born by her elder brother Jing. She is now over two years old and looks lively and cute. She picks more waxy with her mother. She has fair skin and big and bright eyes, which makes her look happy.
Li Hua also got married to Lin Qingyuan last year. Now she is pregnant with Liujia, so it is not convenient to run back and forth, so she is resting in the city.
Mingsheng has also grown up to be a big guy, and this year he is a scholar in high school. I believe that his future will be bright, but Mingsheng doesn't know how he grew up. His originally lively temperament has become more and more quiet. Taohua always complains that he is stupid in studying and told him not to study anymore. He goes out for more time and takes a walk. Zhang is so scared that he quickly knocked away Taohua, saving Mingsheng from being taught.
Peach blossoms were walking around the village with Meng'er. People passing by greeted each other, and Peach blossoms agreed with a smile. Suddenly, someone was talking about it.
"Somehow recently, the price of rice has risen one day, and it will be impossible to afford it if it continues to rise like this."
"Hey, you don't know? I heard that the barbarians in the north fought with us, and they were still very good at fighting. Didn't those merchants just take the opportunity to raise prices by listening to the wind and rain?!"
"God, I won't hit us, right?"
"No! The storyteller in the city has said that with General Dingbei here, no one can get in!"
"What is this General Dingbei?"
"Hey, you don't know this?! He is General Weiyuan's biological grandson and the current eldest nephew of General Weiyuan! It is said that he is extremely brave and has no weak arrows. His invincibleness makes the enemy scared. Wherever he is, the enemy will throw away his armor and retreat."
"So magical?"
"That's right? Besides, there are three treasures in my dynasty. I'm afraid that their barbarians will do anything. They are just a group of mobs."
"What are the three treasures?"
"It's not..."
"Aunt, go, go." Perhaps Taohua has been standing for a long time, Xue'er couldn't wait and pulled Taohua's clothes to shake it straight.
Several people who were chatting lively and looked over when they heard the sound. When they saw that it was peach blossoms, they all greeted them.
Taohua stuffed candy into Meng'er's mouth, and Meng'er immediately became quiet and ate candy. Taohua said with interest: "Uncle, what three treasures did you just talk about? What's wrong with the north side? Have you fought again?"
It’s not surprising that Peach Blossoms are not surprising. She often collects border news on weekdays, but she never heard of any war. At most, she would make small fuss like before.
When the few people saw Taohua asking, the man who started first became more enthusiastic and said, "Who said no? I've been peaceful for a few years and have been having some friction but it's not a big deal. I've been fighting all of a sudden in the past two years. I heard that the fight was quite powerful, and I've died. But Taohua girl, don't worry, she will definitely not be able to hit us."
"As for the three treasures, the first treasure is the General Dingbei I just mentioned. The second treasure is the current sixth prince, Bei County Prince, and the third treasure is the military advisor of Bei County Prince, known as the gentleman and the god-calculation Su Jinchen." It seemed that I suddenly thought of something. The man said the last two words, and after saying that, he looked at Taohua carefully. Now that the Jin family is in great influence, the family affairs are naturally talked about by everyone, especially the third girl's affairs are rumored to be ups and downs. Now when talking about Su Jinchen, who doesn't know that it is the future husband's family of this Taohua girl, but it is a bit unpredictable to see the current situation. However, the man quietly breathes a sigh of relief when he sees Taohua.
"Oh, are these three treasures very powerful?" Taohua continued to ask.
"That's right," the man spitted, "Isn't there a saying that? General Dingbei set the north, and the gentleman made all his plans, the prince of the North laughed in his tent, and the people were surrounded by auspicious clouds. This was reported from the border. I heard that since they attacked them to guard the north, they had not allowed the enemy to advance a little. You must know that before, there were always barbarians who broke through the border and entered our throne, causing the people on the border to suffer. Now the people are grateful to them."
"But judging from the meaning of this, the Prince of Northern County doesn't seem to be very powerful."
"Hey, you can't say that. You have to know that no matter how powerful the general has been, it will be useless if there is no good decision-maker. Look at how many loyal and filial martyrs have been killed unjustly since ancient times."
Taohua was quite surprised now, "You can see clearly, uncle."
The uncle was embarrassed and laughed, "I heard from the storyteller."
Tsk, the onlookers started to cheer.
"But," the other man changed his tone and was a little worried: "I heard from the business travelers passing by saying that the battle situation there seemed to be a bad one. It is said that the barbarians invited some people who practiced evil magic to help, and inexplicably killed many soldiers. General Dingbei almost told the other party's words!"
"Really?!"
"That's right? I heard that it was made by that Wu Zhen tribe. You don't remember the war decades ago. It is said that it was just using that poisonous smoke, and hundreds of thousands died overnight!"
"Isn't that happening when we go to beat others?"
"I don't know, but I'm using things from the Wu Zhen clan, right?"
There was a sigh around him, and then he started to guess randomly. Seeing that Taohua could not find out anything, she took Meng'er home. Taohua looked at the lively scenes on both sides and her heart slowly sank.
When he got home, Ning Caiwei suddenly rushed out and pulled Taohua intimately and said, "Ha, Taohua is back, go and try my new dish!"
When Taohua heard this, her scalp immediately became numb and she stuttered: "Then, what, my mother seems to have called me, I'll go and see what's going on."
After saying that, Taohua ran away. It turned out that Jingsheng had no objection that the food made by Peachhua was delicious, so Ning Caiwei recorded it. Since then, she has been forgetting to eat and sleep on the road of cooking, but for some reason, she seems to be born with little stubbornness in this regard, and the path is getting worse and worse. Taohua, as a teenage mouse, tried the dishes a few times and refused to go again. Ning Caiwei knew that she felt sorry for Jingsheng and never asked Jingsheng to try the dishes first.
Ning Caiwei naturally knew what peach blossom meant, so she pulled her daughter helplessly and said, "Meng'er, be good, go, Changchang's mother cooks delicious food for you."
Unexpectedly, Meng'er screamed, and her fat little body ran away quickly, "Grandma saves me, grandpa saves me, dad saves me, aunt saves me, uncle saves me."
Taohua turned around with courage and ran away with Meng'er.
Ning Caiwei pouted in anger from behind.
